History

Dry, lightly fruity, and herbaceous with minerality, this is a superbly refreshing and complex long drink.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2018 by Alex Godfrey at Milk Thistle in Bristol, England. The original cocktail used Chivas 12 Year Old Scotch with Somerset Cider cordial instead of calvados, and it won the 2018 Chivas Masters Competition in London.
